Maybe I am confused. I'm just going on what Waymo says.
The point is that "soon" is meaningless in this context and Waymo very clearly states that "a Waymo employee would likely be present in the vehicle initially."
- Cogito 7y agoThat quote is from Techcrunch, I haven't seen it in any of the Waymo communications yet.
- cookie_monsta 7y agoYou are correct. I misread the source of the quote
- ehsankia 7y agoLike I said, a lot of different misleading statements are being confused people in this thread. 1. Waymo has been having rides with no one in the car for 2 years now. 2. Waymo has been having rides with real customers inside for 1 year now. 3. Waymo has told said customers in #2 that they may soon see rides with no employee inside I agree that the soon in #3 doesn't mean much, but at the same time, this wasn't a press call, it was a private email sent to users, so it's not like they're showing off. But 1 and 2 have already been happening for a long time.
- cookie_monsta 7y ago> it was a private email sent to users, so it's not like they're showing off. Of course. Companies tell their customers about new products in the hope that they will keep that info secret. I think the salient point about your list is that while 1 and 2 have been done separately for some time, the only timeline we have for them happening concurrently is "soon"
